Tapacooma,
there are many: there is the river, the loch, the creek, the conservancy, the map. There is also the place, the idea, the truth and the meaning. Then there are the killings: the one at a place called Solitude, on the Tapacooma Creek in July of 1830, and the other on June 13, 1980 in the Mazda Capella, PBB 2349, on John Street near the Georgetown Prison. This is not a murder mystery, it is a history mystery, involving sources, historians and their histories.[1]
According to the manuscript submitted, the Author first visited Mother in 2003.[2] Mother is the mother of spirits dressed in black and mounted on black steeds. Their sea is the sky. She feeds them, twice a year, milk and bananas. They are the Flying Dutchmen and they ride the wind…
Notes:
- The killings of Hannah (1830), and Walter Anthony Rodney (1980), hereafter WAR.
- This is a good opportunity to provide, in the form of our Publishing Policy, some additional reading assistance for the Reader to bear in mind. Authors deliver, or as some still prefer, ‘submit,’ manuscripts to The “Argosy” Press: that is their sole function, to deliver manuscripts. Once delivery is complete then the work of the Editor begins. That work is best explained via example. For instance, where the manuscript had read, “I first met Mother in 2003,” it is revised as above – According to the manuscript submitted, the Author first visited Mother in 2003 – where the Author and the submitted manuscript are themselves presented as works in process and not as matters of fact.
